Abstract
A tissue ligating device for ligating a tissue includes a suture having an elastic restoring force, and a hook-shaped member including a groove portion, connected to a first end of the suture, and disposed in a direction along a derivation direction of the suture and in a direction opposite to the derivation direction of the suture with respect to the first end of the suture.
Claims19
A tissue ligating device for ligating a tissue, comprising:
- a suture having an elastic restoring force, and
- a hook-shaped member including a groove portion, connected to a first end of the suture, and disposed in a direction along a derivation direction of the suture and in a direction opposite to the derivation direction of the suture with respect to the first end of the suture, wherein
- the suture is configured to exert the elastic restoring force having a magnitude sufficient to prevent the hook-shaped member that is connected to the first end of the suture from falling over the tissue under the influence of gravity, and to maintain a state in which the hook-shaped member is separated from the tissue.
A tissue ligating device for ligating a tissue, comprising:
- a suture having an elastic restoring force, and
- a hook-shaped member including a groove portion, connected to a first end of the suture, and disposed in a direction intersecting a derivation direction of the suture and in a direction opposite to the derivation direction of the suture with respect to the first end of the suture, wherein
- the suture is configured to exert the elastic restoring force having a magnitude sufficient to prevent the hook-shaped member that is connected to the first end of the suture from falling over the tissue under the influence of gravity, and to maintain a state in which the hook-shaped member is separated from the tissue.
